Established in 1995, the David E. Rogers Memorial Research Award encourages medical residents to continue their investigative research in internal medicine. Each year, senior medical residents submit research abstracts, and four finalists are chosen to present their work during medical grand rounds.
The award was founded and is chaired by Holly S. Andersen, MD, Director of Education and Outreach at The Ronald O. Perelman Heart Institute and Associate Attending Physician at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital and Associate Professor of Clinical Medicine at Weill Cornell Medical College. The grant, received by all four finalists, was made possible through an endowment by the education division of Marion Merril Dow in honor of David E. Rogers, a scholar dedicated to the education and training of young physicians for nearly 50 years.
